  • Despite initially rejecting the notion of an internal NHS market when it came to power in 1997, the Labour government has reintroduced competition to health services over the last three years. But, as it is the product of a series of separate policy developments, including extending choice of provider, expanding the role of the private sector and introducing payment by results, no one is quite sure what this new NHS market will ultimately achieve. This publication offers a critical analysis of current health service market reforms. It questions whether the range of initiatives in the reform agenda can meet the core aim of the NHS: to ensure equitable and efficient provision of high quality care to patients, regardless of their ability to pay. In particular, it considers the immediate challenge facing policy makers, what the NHS might look like in the future and how we can assess if good progress is being made. [SMD]
